I either wipe Windows completely or, more often, will reduce the Windows partition(s) down to about 50 gig. The rest of the 5 terabytes is allocated to Linux Mint. I then remove all extraneous crap (Microsoft 'starters', various garbage apps, 'news' apps, etc) from the Windows system, leaving just Windows itself and the laptop manufacturer's system utilities on there. I only use Windows when absolutely necessary, mainly for things like HP scanning software for my MFP, or a dash-cam app; so probably about 10 hours a year.
